It is possible the action will prevent a chaugc In the miuistry. -Thc fleet arrived at Portland. Maine, on Tues? day evening with the remains of the late Mr. Pea? body. Captain Macorab, of thc Plymouth, held an interview subsequently with Admiral Farra? gut and others, and gave an interesting account of the voyage and of the sailing qualities of the Bhips. The naval ceremonies took place on Wed? nesday morning. -Dr. Francis II. Deane, a wide-known physi? cian of Richmond. Ya., died In that city on Mon? day evening, in thc sixtieth year or his age. The "Whig says that Dr. Deane hail been for seve? ral years in impaired health, and for some weeks so Iow as to prepare his friends ror his death at any hour. The community could lose no citizen Whose decease would be more generally or sin? cerely deplored. -A dispatch dated Rome, Wednesday morn? ing, says that the Pope still suffered much from a cold, but he presided over the sessions of the ^Ecumenical Coum.ll every day. It ls said that the Connell will suspend and possibly close alto? gether about Easter, on account of the insalubrity of Rome. It was rumored in Paris at midnight that the Pope was dead, but this rumor could be traced to no ant lien t ic source. -New Ave dollar legal tender notes to the amount of nearly $800,000 are ready ror Issue. The plates ror the twenty dollar notes are ready, and this denomination will probably be ready for circulation in two weeks. The five dollar notes are very flnely engraved. On the left is an admirably executed vignette or Jackson, while tb.3 centre or the note has a picture or frontier life-representing a pioneer and his family alarm? ai at thc approach or indians. -It is stated in a New York paper that the ne? gotiations between the different express compa? nies have been concluded. Thc Adams Company pays $600,00? and gets back all the.lines formerly surrendered to the Merchants' Union. The Ameri? can gives up the New England States and the Fort Wayne to Chicago route, while In turn the Adams surrenders to the American the Cincin? nati and indianapolis mute, the lower end or the Illinois Central and the Jcffersonville road. -Resolutions were introduced in the Kentucky Boase of Representatives on Wednesday to pro? tect employers against colored employee*. It provides that any oue convicted of enticing from his employer a laborer who has engaged in writ lng to perform a service Miall Buffer a Une there? for, and that any one continuing to keep a laborer kl his employ who has entered into a written en? gagement to serve another, after being notified af such engagement, shall also, on conviction, be fin CHI ror thc same. -The new cable which has recently been suc? cessfully laid between Sol com, England, and Brig nognan, France, is ol thc most solid description .r deep sea cable, weighing eight and one-half teas to the mile, and the shore end fourteen tons. Double land wires will shortly be completed to connect the cable with the land systems of tele? graphs in both commies. By this means mes? sages will be transmitted directly from Brest to London, without passing through Paris, as at present. The completion or this new link, which has been much retarded by bad weather and other unfavorable circumstances, will place Lon? don and New York in almost direct c?mmunlca tion, and the whole route win be under the man? agement and control of the French Cable Com pany. -The mystery atten ding the supposed poison Bg of the old sea captain, Captain John Alex? ander, in New York, is still without salution, and will doubtless remain so until the concluslom of the analysis by Dr. Doremus, instituted by the captain's daughter; meantime, the Gardner raml? ey, who were arrested on suspicion or being the Murderers, remain in prison. Dr. A. N. Brock way, who certified that death resulted from old age and softening or thc brain, publishes a card as&iag a suspension or judgment on the part or the public. Captain Alexander ls said to have teen a native or Baltimore, from which port he had sailed ror years berorc going to New Orleans with his ramify, in the latter city he engaged in business as a commission merchant. While iu Kew Vork, after his arrival, he always bad his letters to his daughter written down town. Ii? TBS reserved in his manner, aud ls supposed not te have had any confidants in the house where he Ired. -The Duke orNorrolk, on whom Mr. Gladstone Intends to conter the garter vacant by the death of Lord Derby, is Premier Peer or England, and hereditary earl marshal. His ancestor was the first Roman Catholic who took his scat in the Bouse or Lords after the emancipation act of 1820. The dukedom dales from the fifteenth cen? tury, aud the Howards are a byword for noble and lofty lineage. The present duke, a young Bin ortwo or three and twenty, isa son or the lan peer by the sister of Loni Lyons, formerly British Minister at Washington, and now at Paris. B s sister. Lady Victoria, is married to Mr. Ilope Scott, whose first wire was granddaughter or Sir Wt'rer Scott, being daughter or the great novel? et's biographer, Lockhart. Mr. Hope-Scott's daug.ner by Miss Lockhart is the only direct rep le-eututl.'e or Scott. Abbotsford now belongs to Ur. Ho ?e-Scott, who lias made a rortune at the Parliamentary bar, the most lucrative branch or ?bc professlou in England. His earnings have, it ta computed, often reached ?i5,oooaud jcio.ooua jear. Some years ago he joined the communion af the Church or Rome, and, la common with the ! Duchess'of Norfolk, also originally a Protest? ant, is a very devoted supporter of that faith. -General Butler's speech in thc llorac, on Wed? nesday, in reply to Mr. Dawes, was a \ery care? fully prepared document. Contrary to his gen cral practice the speech had been print di before? hand and he read from slips. The occasion was one <?f very great interest, and members gathered about him as well as they could. Ile spoke almost two hours, nd aside from the personalities and his allusions to Mr. Dane's political life, there is nothing in the speech ont a grand array of lig? ures. These confront the figures marshalled by Mr. Dawes, and the only question is. who made tho figures lie. After alt Mr. Huller's effort, to which" Mr. Dawes listened attentively am. of which he took full notes, thc latter calmly and deliberately stated his purpose to reiterate what he hail already said, and declared that he would prove the correctness of his statement. While he spoke thc members gathered around him from all parts of the hall, and the best order prevailed. When he sat down members went forward to congratulate him. If Mr. Butler received any congratulations, no one in thc gallery saw it. Mr. Dawes replied on Thursday anil '-bottled" Ben. -In place of appearing before the gold panic committee on Wednesday, Mr. Abel lt. Corbin sent a letter, which was read, regretting his ina? bility to attend on account or ill health. He said he hoped to be able to bc present on Thursday or Friday, and adds that lt ls his earnest desire to appear and testify. Three withesscs were exam? ined to-day, Messrs. Magruder, Wyman and Bige? low, clerks in the office of the comptroller or thc currency, who were sent to Sew York on the 24th of September to examine into thc condition of thc Tenth National Hank. This bank, it appears from thc evidence, certified to checks during thc gold panic to tho extent of $29,000,000, though the cashier claims that the bank held the certi? fied checks of other banks for a good portion of the amount. The committee have discussed thc propriety of allowing Mrs. Corbin and Mrs. Grant to make affidavits and submit thom to thc com? mittee, covering the points of testimony which seek to involve them, but no conclusion has ticen reached, and lt is proba'-!? that neither will tic summoned or required to submit statements. Thc evidence taken and to be taken, lt is believed, will be all that is needed. Licensed Kui u. A Ot accompaniment to the phosphate "monopoly" bill would be. "free trade" in gambling, as proposed in the bill introduced in the House of Representatives one week ago. The bill provides that all games of chance, or any banking game, whether the same bo played for money, checks, creditor any; other representative of value, shall bc licensed, and that gambling without a license shall bc pun? ished by line or imprisonment. Tlie member who introduced the bill may think that gambling cannot be prevented, and that what cannot be cured may, at least, be made to do its part in healing thc finan? cial wounds of the State. There is no force in this reasoning. At present, gambling is carried on ki defiance of thc law. Why tho gambling fraternity are so seldom punished, why they enjoy a practical immunity from the penalties of their calling, it is not hard to see. Their interest is made the interest of the watch-dogs of the law, whom, in these days, it is not hard to muzzle. Yet gambling is necessarily conducted with cau? tion and in secret. They who desire to risk their shining dollars or greasy greenbacks ou the hazard of the die, must seek the gambling saloon. The gambling spider does not stretch its web in the public streets, for the benefit of the provincial fly. There are many born gamblers who will play faro, roulette or rouge et noir, though a score of laws and a brigade of policemen stood between them and ruin, and for their accommodation gambling saloons will always be provided. But the moment that gamb? ling is legalized, the moment that gambling is licensed by a law of the State, the faro banks, and the keno banks, and the roulette tables will be set at every corner, opening their doors to the weak as well as the vicious. We have a startling case in point in Mobile and New Orleans, where the Radicals licens? ed gambling, as is proposed to be done here. The result was that 'he signs and posters of the gambling hells were found in every street; the shouting of the gamblers and their dupes was heard day and night; thou? sands of persons who had never entered a gambling den before, were shown the road to ruin. In New Orleans, it was found that men of all ages and all conditions would drop in "just for a minute or two," to try their luck. Embezzlement and fraud ra? pidly increased, and uow thc Radical City Council acknowledge that unless thc gambling law be repealed it will bc thc death of their party. It was the same thing in Mobile. And itt both cities the colored peo? ple suffered fearfully. Saloons opened for their especial benefit, drained away every cent they possessed, or could borrow or could steal. They were led into temptation by their Radical brethren, and they did not, could not, resist. . The evil consequences of a gambling law cannot easily be exaggerated ; aud wc hope that the bill now before the Legislature will be promptly and decisively rejected. The Drift of thc Tide. Under the auspices of the Radical party the cause of consolidation is advancing with significantly rapid strides. The tendency to centralization was always dormant in Radi? cal policy, and the rapid development of thc idea manifest in the proceedings of the pres? ent Congress is only the natural result of the monopoly of power which the party at present eojoys. The practical effect of the Fifteenth Amendment is simply to throw into the hands of the Federal Government the complete ultimate control of the internal polity of the States. It can hardly fail to bc followed by its natural corollaries; and out of this apparently small fountain-head must How, in time, the broad controlling principle of Congressional interference with every re? served right of every State, North as well as South. ' The second section of the Fifteenth Amendment-"Congress shall have power to "enforce this article by appropriate legisla? tion"-cannot fail to prove a most fertile text in the hands of Republican interpreters. It is very evident that there is no logical rea? son why interference with the right of each State to control the voting privileges of its citizens should be legitimate, and interfer? ence with other internal regulations should be illegitimate. There is nothing easier th an the creation of precedents; and so ioni^ I as cvry link in the chain is made to prove its successor, there is no practical difficulty iu pushing conclusions to any desired extent. That the future policy of the Radical party is fast coming to this complexion, the whole drift of recent Congressional action assures us. The introduction in the House of the bill to declare null and void such acts of thc Legislatures and State Conventions as be? came laws by virtue of the votes of merni HTS 0? the s? m \ who arc disqualified by the third section of the Fourteenth Amendment, wiiile it lias immediate bearing on the Ten uessee State Convention, whose action it ia intended to nullify, reaches further in its ultimate effect, and indicates plainly enough a deep-seated intention on the part of Con gross to allow no independent action on thc part <if any State, whicl' may, in the small? est degree, interfere with the dominant pur? poses of this most rampant Republicanism. There are indications in Washington of an effort, and probably a successful one, to re? move, by a general law, tho property quali flcation imposed on negro voters in New York, and tims evade the effect of the re jection of the Fifteenth Amendment by the Democratic Legislature of that State. These and similar signilicant straws leave but little doubt of the drift of the tide; and thc ques? tion for the country to decide now is, whether thatiide, carrying with it as it surely does, a greater influx of corruption, oppression and all manner of political wickedness than the United States has ever before known in its high places, shall be permitted to over? whelm us with its noxious flood; or whether the reaction shall atlast set in, and the party of real, and not pretended and unequal, free? dom ride triumphantly into power upon the backs of a truly progressive Democracy. WE print this morning an interesting let? ter from our Washington correspondent, giv? ing some details of the debate in the House of Representatives on the South Carolina election case, and explaining the status of the contest between Wallace anil Simpson at the time of writing. The dispatches of last night indicate that nothing further can be done in behalf of Mr. Simpson until his dis? abilities arc removed. U)ants.

We would invite thc attention of Planters to Ibo consideration of some of the advantages in ? he cultivation of SORGO as a Crop, which arc, the small amount of labor; thc hardy character or the plant in its ability to endure, without ma? terial injury, both drought and wet; Its rreedom rrom the attack of worms; Its early maturing, and the fact that the Seed and every part of thc plant ls of great value. In ^Consequence of the Imperfect method hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice of lids Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, ami the belief that Sugar could not bc produced, but only a very inferior Syrup. But, by the discovery of the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed In the minds of all those who have examined and tested this Process, as they realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups of the Henneries, ls pro? duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make it without doubt, the most, profitable crop that can be plant? ed. Of these Tacts abundant evidence can bc shown. Anv Information on this subject can be obtain? ed by applying to Mr. P. G. CART, Charleston, S. C., who has been appointed our authorized Agent, and who will be prepared to furnish pure Imphcc Sccil uud Machinery. Or to ourselves at Greenville, S. C. PASSMORE <fc WILHELM, Greenville, S. C.
